Andy says: academics should fear politicians

There should be no independent research in our state funded universities, especially when they touch upon topics that matter to some people. And, if a university happens to research something that politicians don't like, they should be punished.

Or so says Andy over at Thurston Pundits. He also thinks interrogatory sentences no longer need to end in a question mark. But, that is open to discuss here.

Remember the politcally motivated study the UW is releasing to thwart 933.

Bad move UW. Bad move. One has to figure they didn't really count on the back lash from the folks that butter their bread on the broader spectrum. I understand that at an org that size, 99% of managers could not find a clue if it bit them in the ass anyway, but this one will come back to haunt them.
